Jordan's security forces on Friday found explosives hidden under the ground in an area of the city Al Salt, where two exploded landmines killed three Jordanians.

Minister of State for Media Affairs Jumana Ghunaimat said in a statement that security forces combed the area after Thursday's incident and found explosives, which were identical to the ones used by terrorists during a terrorist attack in Salt last year.

Search was ongoing in the area to see if there are more explosives, she said in a statement to the press on Friday, confirming that eight were injured in the explosions and being treated in the nearby hospital.
